Course Title: Wireless Network Planning Course Code: N10 Course 90 hours Duration: Course Objectives: The purpose of the dimensioning phase is to estimate the approximate number of sites required, the base station configurations and the number of network elements, in order to forecast the projected costs and associated investments. The detailed coverage and capacity planning is presented. The detailed planning takes into account the real site locations, the propagation conditions calculated on digital maps and real user distributions based on the operator's traffic forecasts. The dimensioning and detailed planning are compared for different operators. Detailed RRM algorithms such as power control and handovers .is used in order to fully optimized the radio resources. The course will focus on the importance of interference control within one carrier, as well as interference from the adjacent channel, emphasizing that precautions should be taken to support this interference control as early as in the network planning phase.
